E. CHURCH Large Congregation Heard Address of the Bishop on European Condi tions -Held Attention for Hour and Three Quarters. That Europeans' are hungry for bread and for the religion of : Jesus Christ, and that Christian America has its greatest opportunity for ser vice to devastated Europe, was per haps the outstanding vision presented to the congregation at the Lincolnton M. E. Church last Monday night when Bishop U. V. W. Darlington, of Hunt ington, W. Va., delivered his masterly address on European conditions. The great Bishop returned some weeks ago from the devested sections of Europe where he had been-sent by the General : conference of . the M. E. Church, South, to go first hand infor mation on the distressing conditions in war devastated Europe, and to see in what way the funds raised by his church were being used. The large congregation which filled the Lincolnton church Monday even ing gave undivided attention to the Bishop's address for almost two hours and all went away feeling that he had brought to them a vivid picture of devasted Europe that will stick throughout time. , ' : Bishop . Dal'lington took the con gregation on a trip through parts of Belgium, as he told of conditions there in the cities and rural dis tricts, through a portion of Germany into HoliHuV'atui to Poland, lie saw much of Poland, in '. which country, next to Russia, he found the greatest misery. His description of the miser able conditions in that country were horrifying, where he saw starving children and heard their pitiful cries to him begging for a piece of bread, and a mother and a one day old baby lying upon the ground with leaves for a bed, where they had both died bocawee of their poverty (Stricken com ditions; he Said there arc so many refugees in Poland that the people there, though they do all they can, are powerless to administer to the wants of all who need help. The Bishop found the people of these war stricken nations not only crying for bread, but crying for the living Christ, the kind of Christ America has. Bishop . Darlington found a turning away from Catholic ism on the part of the people; found them seeking a living Christ. He said millions of them have renounced Catholicism, and that there is a great opportunity for the Protestant churches to reap a harvest of souls in portions of Europe. He said that dur ing the world war the people had .gotten a taste of freedom by coming in contact with western civilization and wanted to learn more about it more about Christ as taught in Amer- 1. 7'. ' '"' :::: ' - In telling of various uses made of money contributed for missions thru his church, he mentioned many insti tutions now being maintained in these European Countries Such ' as or pranges, Bible' schools, and milk and food stations under the direction of competent persons and " medical aid stations. " A ten mile side journey into bleed ing, Bolshevic Russia was the limit of Bishop Darlington's visit to that de vasted land of want, where an Ameri can passport gives no assurance of personal safety. This was the second visit of Bishop Darlington to Lincolnton and his ad dress here was one of the greatest ever delivered in this city, and will prove helpful and ever remain a memory to those who were fortunate enough to hear the great bishop. He was presented to the congrega tion by Rev. J. T. Mangum pastor of the Lincolnton M. E. Church. tion which will be held on Saturday, April 8th. The graduates will be. hon ored by being seated on the stage dur ing the exercises on Saturday morn ing and will be addressed by Hon. 0. Max Gardner. All pupils of the county who have not missed a day from school this year will be given atten dance certificates, and those who have not missed a word in spelling during the year will receive certificates show ing perfection in spelling. The winn ers in the school betterment campaign will be announced on commencement day. ' Singing by the schools of the coun ty, spelling matches,, contests and games will fill the : commencement program and will furnish entertain ment for all who come to Lincolnton to enjoy the Big Commencement Day with the children. Every patron of the schools or citizen of our county who is interesting in the undertakings of the schools and the improvement of the children is invited to be present, on eomencement day and enjoy the songs, speeches, spelling matches and games.

SIMMONS PROPOSES BANK SYSTEM Would Create Federal Institution Similar to Federal Reserve System To Provide Long Term Credits for Farmers, Giving Them the Same ( Credit Facilities That Commercial ' Interests Have' in Federal Reserve System. i Washington, April 3. ; Creation of a federal institution similar to the federal reserve bank system to pro vide long term credits . ; for farmers was proposed in a bill introduced to-j day by Senator Simmons, democrat, ' North Carolina, former chairman of the senate finance committee, which was later referred to that committee. The bill would set up an agricultural! banking system with regional dis tricts and other attributes of the fed eral banking system. Establishment of ; a "national agri cultural : credits corporation" to ab sorb, the war, finance corporation, with $500,000,000. capital for a re volving fund, all to be subscribed by the government, was proposed under the bill. Loans would run from one to three years.' The governing body would be a board of five members, headed by the secretary of agricul ture, appointed by the President and confirmed by the senate. . Senator Simmons told the senate that his bill would ', give farming in terests the same credit facilities that commercial interests receive from the federal reserve system. . Mr. Simmons said 'his plan was a "sound, workable and well balanced system of financing the agricultural operations of the country." It would provide for farmers' "banking and credit facilities comparable if not equal to the federal reserve system," he said. 1 ROAD BUILDING IS AT MILE MARK 2,000- Raleigh, March Ot Twenty-five miles of gravel roads sold for $1, 225,767.15 when bids submitted by 59 contractors were opened by the State Highway Commission yester day.

DR. LEONARD WHITE, OF STATKSVILLE, A SUICIDE Prominent Dentist Throws Himself Under Engine of Passenger Train No. 21. . Statesville, April 1 .-Dr. Leonard White, for more than 30 years a prominent dentist in Statesville, was struck and instantly killed by Southern train No. 21, one mile west of Statesville about 4 o'clock this afternoon. It appeared to be a clear case of suicide. According to the story of the engineer, Dr. White was first seen standing by the side of the track and just before the engine reached him he stepped over and stooped down placing his hands on one of the rails. The engine knock ed him off the track to oneside in flicting wounds about the neck and head which produced instant death. The engineer stopped . his train im mediately, picked up the body of the dead man and brought it back to the station. Dr. White had to give up his dental practice last year on account of fail ing health and spent some months in Broad Oaks sanitorium at Morganton. Ha returned, to his home., ajgwjjdays. ago but - his health had not been fully restored. No inquest was nec essary as Sheriff Alexander and his attorney and all who are familiar with the facts considered it apparent that the deceased came to his death by his own act. Dr. White was 00 years of age and is survived by his wife and two sons, William White, of Charlotte, and Leonard White, of Greensboro. His wife was Miss Kate Wood, daughter of the late W. A. Wood, for 30 years pastor of the First Presbyterian church here. Dr. White was a native of Sumter, S. C, He leaves one bro ther, Anthony White, of New York. Funeral will be conducted by Rev. Chas. E.

CITIES AND COUNTIES DO NOT OWE MUCH Total Bonded Indebtedness of 85 Lit tle Over $95,000,000 Much For : Improvements Counties Have $3, 000,000 In Courthouses and $32, 000,000 In Their Schools. (By W. T. Boat in Greensboro News) Raleigh, April 1. Eighty-five coun ties and their chief cities complying with the Sams act providing for pub lication of all bonded indebtedness of whatsoever character, had today returned $48,971,860.07 against the cities and $46,182,631.80 against the counties. A little to the rise of $95,000,000 the figures will prove a staggering dis appointment to oifjanized croaker dom. : When Mr. Sams was engineer ing his bill through the two houses there was hardly an optimist pro gressive, idealist or what not who 1 ... . would have dared guess North Car- olina people owe less than $500,00,000 on what they have and have not. But it is reasonably certain that North Carolina's county indebtedness will not exceed $65,000,000 and city obli gations will be barely more if so much. The highest estimate made by any man handling the figures is $150, 000,000 and he thinks it is possible that the obligations may be embraced in $125,000,00 with money to spare. This with the state authorized bond ed indebtedncs of substantially $75, 000,000 makes the state of North Carolina debtor for its own and all its governmental units $200,000,000. Right much money anybody will say but North Carolina, is right much of a state. Nearly one-fourth of this indebtedness has merely been con tracted for the more than half of it is for improvements, properties and institutions of various kind not yet complete. That is to say, the small est percentage is for things that have 1 A J fli.n,i.M. at.rni, . TV, a big deals which tnese governing units are now putting over are for things that have an immortal char acter to them. For instance, these 85 counties have invested $3,000,000 in court houses and jails, $468,000 in county homes $1,000,000 in railroads, $7, 217,000 in schools and $32,000,000 in roads. The ratio of expenditures has been inverted. Schools a few years ago were the nearest nothing, they are now the nearest something. North Carolina is putting sense in its head so fast that materialistic folks can hardly put pavement fast enough for its feet to bear those full heads. Roads and schools lack but a little of taking up half of this indebted ness and the man who croaks a com munity out of its road and school mind will be able to make a fortune turning artesian wells inside out and m'aking telephone poles of them. How Cities Stack Up, As not all the cities have turned in their debts the department of Audi tor Durham is not ready to give an itemized list. Winston-Salem, the metropolis, leads in grand total with $4,912,733.61. It is "trangely enough seconded by Oxford with $2,290,000, Wilmington coming third with $2,- $180,000, Greensboro fourth . with $2,- 045,000 and Raleigh fifth with $2,- 030,000. ml Figures, yet come will change these, perhaps shove Winston- saiem out of first place. Then when Raleigh buys $1,000,000 worth of schools next week that. Will .shoot the capital high. Salisbury which re- centlv bought heavily in schools has $1,864,000 Gastonia, $1,529,999 Rocky boro, owes $10,000, MAYBE THE M EN WERE'T PLUMB FOOLISH and the daughters . too are said to have instructed daughters' male friends that thev must vote for the 2 women for city office or stop coming around. Election day came and has gone and the women candidates were handsomely , trimmed Election offi- cials think that the men voted as they were told to vote, but that the other women oi the community voted to a woman for the men candidates. SHORT ITEMS Winston-Salem, April 4. 'The dis trict Pythian meeting here last night voted unanimously to extend an invi tation to the grand lodge, which meets in Wilmington in June, to hold its annual session in Winston-Salem next year. Raleigh, April 4. Raleigh today voted a million-dollar bond issue for the extension of its school system. Of a registration slightly above 4,200 advocates of the bond issue suc ceeded in getting 2,919 votes. The money will be used in the erection of a modern and up-to-date high schools building and the construction of a number of grammar grade buildings in addition to the repair and addition of rooms to buildings now in use. Washington, April 3. Discussing before the house labor committee to day reasons why 600.000 anthracite and bituminous coal miners stopped work last Saturday in the United States and Canada, John L. Lewis, president of the. United Mine Worl'.ers of America and official leader of the strike, declared that the anthracite workers had gone out merely to await the results of a peaceful nego tiation with their employers over a new wage scale but that the bitu minous workers were ouf indefinitely, if need be, to obtain the signing of a basic wage contract. San Francisco, April 2. Roscoe C. (Fatty) AiMmckle is to take the stand " in the next few days" to tell his own story of the happenings at the Hotel St. Francis party in which he is al leged to have fatally attacked Miss Virginia Rappe, motion picture actress, counsel for Arbuckle an nounced today. The trial which is on a manslaughter charge in connection with the actress' death, is expected to consume at least two more weeks.' . ..New York, April .3. Union lead ffScTaTmecT their first victory for the striking anthracite miners here today when they announced several independent companies had offered to grant all of the nineteen wage de mands if the men would return to their jobs immediately. Hickory, April . 3. Practically complete returns assure the election of M. H. Yount, for mayor, over E. Lyerly and George L. Huffman and S. A. IsonhoUf, for aldermen, over N W. Clark and S. L. Whitner, by majority of 125 or more. The vote cast, over 1,400. was lirgest ever poll ed in Hickory, Women participated for the first time in a city election here, probably 500 voting. The newly elected officers are regarded as entire ly new administration and a number of changes are expected in the per sonnel of the city offices. Both operators and miners stand firm in the country-wide strike which has closed more than 6,000 leaving over 500,000 men idle. Oper ators claims many non-union miners who weere idle . Saturday in obser vance of the anniversary of the eight hour day h.ive returned to work. Both bides a?rfe, however, that the strike is practically 100 per cent perfect in the great central competitive field of the Illionis, Indiana, Ohio and west ern Pennsylvania. Operators assert that many pits are in operation in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. Kansas operators on Monday agreed to re turn to the wage scale of May, 1917, providing for $3.60 a day instead of. the $7.50 named in the present agree ment. Thomasville, April 2.
